Whether you are a college student, parent, second language learner or a young child just
learning to read, reading for fun over the summer vacation period is full of benefits.
Studies show that students who read during the summer retain more and have higher vocabularies
than those who don’t. Even life-long learners find themselves learning new things through
reading for fun over the summer. Come take a look at our “Staff and Faculty Picks” display
for summer reading. Also on display are a few titles under the category of “Bibliotherapy,”
which are books for adults and children who are dealing with personal problems such as anger
management or PTSD. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, ask a librarian. For additional
suggestions, view a
list in WorldCat or
Pinterest.

Library DisplayGeorge Ellery Hale was a pioneer in the development of early 20th century telescopes.
He developed the telescopes at California’s Mt. Wilson and Palomar
Mountain Observatories and the
discoveries made there have greatly influenced the science of astronomy as we know it today.
Our current display traces the history and the future of the telescope and especially Hale’s
contributions to the world famous Palomar Observatory. For those interested in exploring our
universe further, Palomar College offers several CSU;UC transferable astronomy classes in
which students can learn about the physical nature of light and the optical principles of a telescope.
The campus also boasts a new 138 seat planetarium with shows open to the public.
